This study describes two Danish cases of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome presenting with malnutrition and gastrointestinal issues; both patients underwent successful treatment and remission after developing colonic adenocarcinomas.

In this study, researchers used gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to analyze agarwood from Laos and Thailand, identifying key volatile compounds also found in five other regions, and highlighted cytokine-regulated anti-inflammatory activity as a significant biological mechanism, suggesting potential for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

This study found that serum amino acid profiles changed significantly following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with obesity, and identified serum leucine levels as an independent risk factor for postoperative alopecia.

This study found that while cyclophosphamide remains effective for severe autoimmune conditions, it is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, infections, some cases of irreversible amenorrhoea, and a higher risk of malignancies, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring.

This study found that Epstein-Barr virus infection upregulated a truncated variant of human basic hair keratin 1 (hHb1-ΔN) in gastric carcinoma cell lines, suggesting a possible link to carcinoma differentiation.

This study reported that mice on a phenylalanine-deficient diet showed symptoms such as weight loss, gastric dilation, and thymic depletion, which echo human phenylalanine deficiency manifestations.

This review discusses the role of gut steroids in communicating with the gut microbiota and their potential implications in treating gastrointestinal disorders and related brain conditions, suggesting new perspectives on steroid molecules as therapeutic agents.

This study observed potential racial and gender differences in methotrexate side effects among uveitis patients, noting gastrointestinal issues were more common in males and Caucasians, while African Americans experienced more hair loss.

This study found that a PEEP of 10 mbar for 2 hours did not adversely affect liver function or gastric mucosal perfusion in patients after cardiac surgery, as long as cardiac output was maintained.

This case report highlights that equine multisystemic eosinophilic epitheliotropic disease should be considered in horses presenting with skin lesions and gastrointestinal symptoms, as illustrated by the progression in a 5-year-old horse despite treatment.

This case report describes how unique endoscopic findings led to the diagnosis of Satoyoshi syndrome coexisting with systemic lupus erythematosus and gastric adenoma, expanding the endoscopic understanding of the syndrome.

This review reported that the dwarf palm (Chamaerops humilis) is traditionally used in North Africa for treating diabetes and gastrointestinal diseases, and identified a need for more research on its pharmacological and ethnobotanical properties, particularly in relation to its potential cancer-fighting uses.

This review reports that thallium poisoning causes severe neurological damage, with early gastrointestinal symptoms and later neurological dysfunction, and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and Prussian blue as an effective antidote.

This case report describes a 12-year-old male dog with hepatoid cell carcinoma, showing significant health improvement after a month of bioregulatory therapy, including gastroenteropathy resolution, hair regrowth, and restored vision.

This study reviews the evolution and modifications of microneedle drug delivery systems, initially designed for percutaneous use, now expanded for targeting a variety of tissues and organs such as ocular, oral mucosal, and gastrointestinal, suggesting widespread future applicability.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

This review examines the main absorption sites and influencing factors for orally administered drugs, highlighting variables such as solubility and gastrointestinal conditions that affect drug absorption in the small intestine and the development of effective drug delivery systems.

This review examines existing research and clinical trials on the use of dupilumab for various skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal disorders, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, methotrexate and leflunomide were compared for treating rheumatoid arthritis, showing similar efficacy overall. Methotrexate reduced swollen joints more effectively, while leflunomide was associated with fewer gastrointestinal side effects but more frequent liver enzyme increases.

This study reports that K7 expression patterns observed in mice are similar to those in humans, revealing previously unreported expression in the gastrointestinal tract, tongue, and various "hard" epithelial tissues.

Gepant medications for migraines show varied safety profiles in this study, with specific adverse events reported across systems like gastrointestinal and skin disorders, highlighting the need for tailored treatment and monitoring.

This study concluded that laparoscopic ovarian drilling does not clearly improve menstrual regularity or androgenic symptoms in PCOS compared to most medical treatments, but it may have fewer gastrointestinal side effects than metformin plus clomiphene.

This study suggests that hydroxychloroquine may benefit some children with alopecia areata, as five out of nine patients showed improvement, although side effects like gastrointestinal intolerance and headache were noted.

In this study, detailed examinations of alopecic lesions in two female Cronkhite-Canada syndrome patients suggested hair regrowth might occur without systemic corticosteroids if not required for gastrointestinal treatment, and hair loss may begin with anagen-telogen transition.

In this study, the researchers observed that the severity of capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome in advanced gastric cancer patients was not linked to the IVS14+1G→A mutation in the DPYD gene.

This study found that oral paclitaxel combined with encequidar improved tumor response rates compared to intravenous paclitaxel in women with metastatic breast cancer, while also reducing neuropathy but increasing certain gastrointestinal and neutropenic side effects.

This review examines the cutaneous manifestations of systemic diseases, including metabolic, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, and malignant conditions, as well as updates on skin signs of COVID-19, without presenting new study results.
